Bent-over lateral raises while standing

There are various ways to perform the bent-over lateral raise. One common variation is the standing execution, which is particularly popular in the gym. To ensure that your training goes optimally, you will receive advice on the correct body position and execution.

Body position

When practicing the bent-over lateral raise in a standing position, grab two dumbbells. A slight bend in the knees protects your joints, making sure the legs are not fully extended. Keep your upper body bent forward with a straight back, ensuring it remains parallel to the ground. It is crucial not to curve the spine. Your head forms a natural extension of the spine, and your gaze is directed toward the ground. The arms hang down with the dumbbells, slightly bent. Now you can start the movement.

Movement execution

Now lift both arms from the bottom to the top, making sure not to fully extend them during the entire execution to avoid injuries. Stop only when the arms are at least horizontal to the ground. Exhale during the lift. Then, lower the arms slowly and controlled back to the starting position, consciously inhaling.

To diversify your training, you can also try similar exercises or other variations of the exercise Face Pulls on the cable machine.

Seated bent over lateral raise

Face Pulls are a popular exercise to strengthen the muscles in the rear shoulder area. In contrast to some shoulder exercises, you can also perform Face Pulls with a Theraband. Therefore, this fitness exercise is suitable for training in almost any location. Instead of the cable machine, you use a Theraband, which is attached at face height. Subsequently, you can replicate the characteristic motion of Face Pulls.

Bent-over lateral raises on the incline bench

As an alternative for upper back training, consider the Inclined Bench Bent-Over Lateral Raise. The 45-degree angle of the incline bench facilitates the movement execution, allowing your back to remain in a natural position without significant strain.With two dumbbells, you can now perform the characteristic movement, not only strengthening the rear shoulders but also engaging your Trapezius muscle. As the rear shoulder muscles are often neglected, this exercise contributes to a comprehensive upper back workout.
